Kong Xuan's current Divine Power cultivation is just one step away from the Divine Origin Realm.
Yun Ming is a genuine expert at the Divine Origin Realm, possessing a vast and boundless Divine Power.
Electrolux, the former Holy Necromancer, possessed a Divine Power whose essence and refinement even surpassed that of Yun Ming.
Therefore, Electrolux was the first to notice the unusual fluctuations originating from the direction of the Sea-Calming Divine Needle deep within his Sea of Consciousness.
As soon as he finished speaking, Yun Ming and Kong Xuan almost instantly turned their gazes in the same direction!
The white mist in the distance seemed to be stirred by an invisible hand, suddenly churning up!
The next moment...
"Call out!"
A golden streak of light suddenly pierced through the thick white mist, heading straight for Kong Xuan!
The golden light was so fast that it crossed the entire Sea of Consciousness almost the instant the three of them caught sight of it, and came to a steady stop in front of Kong Xuan.
The golden light gradually receded, revealing what it contained.
It was an object the size of a palm, its entire body displaying a restrained yet substantial dark gold color.
And its shape... is strikingly similar to a lotus seedpod!
This dark gold lotus seedpod has an ancient and natural shape, with seven holes distributed on it.
However, at this moment, only six lotus seeds were quietly embedded in these seven holes.
These six lotus seeds are also dark gold in color, round and plump, with an inner radiance.
Yun Ming and Electrolux observed carefully, but they couldn't figure it out either.
They had witnessed the "gifts" flying out from around the Sea-Calming Divine Needle more than once. Each time, they were different in form, but all of them greatly helped to improve Kong Xuan's strength!
Kong Xuan reached out and steadily caught the dark golden lotus seedpod that was floating in front of him.
According to the previously summarized pattern, for every twenty levels of Soul Power gained, one can obtain a corresponding " Six Sense Roots " from the Sea-Calming Divine Needle to strengthen oneself.
Now that he has broken through to the level 80 Soul Douluo realm, it's time for him to obtain his fourth " Six Sense Roots ".
And what he gained this time was clearly— the Tongue That Tastes and Desires!
Without much hesitation, Kong Xuan's mind stirred, and the dark golden lotus seedpod suddenly transformed into countless sparkling golden lights, instantly flowing down Kong Xuan's arm and into his body, perfectly merging with him.
The whole process was incredibly fast, happening in the blink of an eye.
Seeing Kong Xuan's gaze return, Electrolux knew that the fusion had been successfully completed.
He smiled as he sized up Kong Xuan: "With your current overall strength, although you only appear to be Eight-Ring Soul Douluo, your true combat power is probably no weaker than an ordinary Level 95 Super Douluo."
Kong Xuan nodded, acknowledging this astonishing level of combat strength.
But there wasn't much pride on his face. "It's nothing, after all, my real enemies have never been the Soul Master of this world."
He paused slightly, raised his head a little, his gaze seemingly piercing through the heavens of the Douluo Continent: "My battlefield lies above the Divine Realm!"
As more and more of the " Six Sense Roots " were integrated, Kong Xuan became increasingly aware that the wonders of these "roots" originating from the " Sea-Calming Divine Needle " went far beyond simply enhancing the sensitivity of the five senses.
They are more like a fundamental enhancement, each one like a " Body Martial Soul," and each fusion subtly strengthens his Life foundation.
This improvement is comprehensive and fundamental, though perhaps not immediately apparent.
But Kong Xuan had a strong premonition that when he one day ascended to the Divine Realm, this fundamental foundation laid by the " Six Sense Roots," which far exceeded the norm, would unleash unimaginable power and bring about a qualitative leap!
Having integrated the " Tongue That Tastes and Desires " technique and thoroughly solidified his cultivation as Eight-Ring Soul Douluo, Kong Xuan's breakthrough in seclusion was finally complete.
He opened the metal door of the training room and slowly walked out.
Outside the door, the first thing that caught the eye was her younger sister Kong Ling, who had been waiting for a long time.
She blinked her bright, large eyes, and asked with concern and expectation, "Brother, did you... succeed in breaking through?"
Kong Xuan looked at his younger sister, a warm smile on his face, and nodded in response.
Then, his smile faded, and he asked, "Have they all arrived?"
Seeing this, Kong Ling immediately replied seriously, "They're all here, everyone's up there, just waiting for you to come out of seclusion, brother!"
Upon hearing this, Kong Xuan turned and walked out, returning from the basement to the ground floor, and finally entered a reception room.
The reception room was not large, but its furnishings were simple and elegant. It was already quite lively with many people sitting there.
Qiangu Fuliu, Huo Yuhao Xiao Hongchen, Huo Yu Hao, Shui Ling, Gu Yuena, Xu Tianyi, and Xu Wei —all of Kong Xuan's "friends" have gathered here.
When Kong Xuan appeared at the door and entered the reception room, the previously quiet conversation inside instantly ceased.
All eyes turned to him, wondering why Kong Xuan had suddenly summoned them.
Kong Xuan didn't keep them waiting long. After everyone was seated, he said directly, "It has been half a year since the Spirit Pagoda was officially established."
"Over the past six months, the parliamentary system has taken initial shape, and the fusion of Soul Spirit has proceeded in an orderly manner. This would not have been possible without the hard work and strong support of everyone present. I sincerely thank you all!"
His words were not empty talk; everyone present had devoted most of their energy to the initial establishment and expansion of the Spirit Pagoda over the past six months.
Many new Spirit Envoy were trained by them, and their contributions were indispensable in enabling the Spirit Pagoda to quickly gain a foothold and get on the right track.
In just six months, all thirty-six coveted seats in the Spirit Pagoda Council have been secured, bringing together the most influential forces on the continent. The Spirit Pagoda has now entered a new phase of steady development.
However, no sooner had Kong Xuan finished expressing his heartfelt gratitude than Xu Wei, who was sitting to the side, couldn't help but interrupt.
" Brother Xuan, among us, there's no need for all this formality, is there?"
"You've gathered us here so solemnly today, it can't be just to thank us for our hard work over the past six months, can it?"
Kong Xuan glanced at Xu Wei, then his smile faded, and he said seriously, "Indeed, the reason I've gathered everyone here today is because of a very important matter concerning the future!"
Upon hearing this, everyone's expressions turned serious, and they unconsciously leaned forward slightly, waiting for Kong Xuan to continue.
"Six months ago, everyone came with me to the place where the god of God of Love was born."
"Unfortunately, none of us meet the requirements of God of Love for his successor."
Upon hearing this, everyone present couldn't help but feel a slight shadow fall over their expressions.
The opportunity to become gods was right in front of them, yet they failed to seize it. How could they not feel regret?
However, Kong Xuan's intention in bringing up the old story at this moment was clearly not to reopen old wounds.
Could it be...?!
Sure enough, under the renewed expectant gazes of the crowd, Kong Xuan smiled and said, "Don't be disappointed, because... I also know of another place where a deity's legacy is passed down!"
"The reason we've gathered everyone here is to try our luck together!"
Another divine lineage!
These few words instantly stirred up a huge wave in everyone's hearts!
The slight gloom that had just risen was instantly dispelled, replaced by an uncontrollable excitement and ecstasy!
All eyes were fixed intently on Kong Xuan, their eyes gleaming with excitement and anticipation!
Regarding the inheritance of the Fire God, Kong Xuan felt that his younger sister had the highest chance of being recognized, but he couldn't be sure, as it also depended on the Fire God's will.
However, even if others cannot obtain a divine position, they can still improve their strength through Divine Examination.
Under the expectant gazes of the crowd, Kong Xuan continued, "And this land where the Fire God Inheritance is located deep within the vast and boundless sea."
"Therefore, our journey will require us to sail out to sea and explore the open ocean. The journey is long and uncertain, and it will likely take quite some time."
No matter how far, no matter what dangers lie ahead, we will definitely go!
This time, the one who took the lead in making a firm statement was not Xu Wei, who was the most outgoing and lively, but Xu Tianyi, who was always taciturn!
Only when it comes to cultivation and the pursuit of strength does this true "martial arts fanatic" display such rare enthusiasm and zeal.
As Xu Tianyi uttered these resolute words, it was as if a fuse had been lit, instantly igniting the atmosphere in the hall!
Everyone chimed in with their opinions, expressing their willingness to follow Kong Xuan and set sail together to explore the immense opportunity of this divine inheritance!
Kong Xuan knew this would be the outcome.
"Alright!" Kong Xuan said no more and made the decision directly, "Since everyone has made up their minds, then go back and properly arrange and hand over your current affairs, and prepare for a long-term departure."
"Three days later, at dawn, we'll meet here again and set off together!"
Without further ado, everyone stood up and strode out, leaving only the sounds of chairs being moved and hurried footsteps in the hall.
However, just as Huo Yuhao was about to leave with the others, Kong Xuan's voice rang out again, stopping him. " Yuhao, stay a moment."
